    New to me HR824 on the way

    Boy I'm stupid. I picked up the new to me HR824. Its not in a great state (bumps bruises and scratches). But no obvious damage to the woofer, only the cabinet. Had to buy a power cord. Plugged it all in and it turns on and makes the expected noises. WOO HOO! $191 including shipping! What a deal...

    Fallout on Prime Video

    There were/are Ghouls in almost all the Fallout games. Only know that by looking at the Wiki. Maybe they were just mentioned in the games?

    Fallout on Prime Video

    Watched Ep 1 and half of Ep 2. Lovin' it so far. I think I played Fallout 2 first, but didn't get very far. Then Fallout 4 on the PS4? PC?...and I think I finished it? But I honestly don't remember. Is the show following a specific game storyline or simply in the same "universe"? Some of the...

    New to me HR824 on the way

    I was the same (its been 19 years!) and it never bothered me and it was actually pretty good. But $160 w/ a 45 day return policy...I couldn't pass it up.

    You have the coolest toys. And that looks AMAZING. Getting all that set up (PC, game, audio, app)...I think you might actually need a real crew chief! LMAO

    New to me HR824 on the way

    I only have 4.1 speakers (Front L/R and Rear L/R and the sub). I know...what kind of A/V Enthusiast/Audio Annexer am I? One that never got around to buying the front channel. I haven't thought about it much in the last decade honestly. But watching Civil War in the theater was...aurally, pretty...

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    The crucible of war is unforgiving and leaves all who are crushed by it, also hardened.

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    As I search now...I do believe that is the point. As Kirsten Dunst character says, "I thought I was sending messages back as a warning, don't let this happen to us...yet here we are" (or something like that). The intent of the movie is more of how War is actually empty and meaningless and...

    What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

    I watched this last night in Cinemark XD. I'll double down on the intense. And the gun fights...are the most realistic I've heard ever. Not that I've been in any gun fight, but I've been at a range and heard an M16, various handguns and rifles fired. And...this...sounded like that. What were...

    Alien: Romulus

    Well said and very much agreed. That cast worked perfectly...I'm going to put that up for a family movie night. Been a while since I've seen Alien/Aliens But...if that new one does well, let's see what happens. I wouldn't put it past Hollyweird

    Alien: Romulus

    More horror than action similar to the original ALIEN it would seem, right? You know what would be acceptable, if this does well? A shot for shot remake of ALIENS...that would be cool. Maybe

    Good budget way to connect Bluetooth and/or WiFi audio to my old receiver

    Very happy thus far. Phones connect to it w/o issue, music plays. Glad I spent $30 instead of $150.

    How to attach speakers to stands

    I had 6" DIY PVC tube stands for well over a decade along with MDF platforms for the base and speaker plate with screws holding the plate to the speakers. With the recent flood in my basement the MDF got soaked and malformed. Thus no longer usable. I bought some Monoprice stands from Amazon...

    Good budget way to connect Bluetooth and/or WiFi audio to my old receiver

    I pulled the trigger on the WiiM, based on the CNET review and Botch's "like". I, also, am not a fan of look-alike names w/ inferior equipment. Having said that...w/ Haywood's recommendation...and $120 cheaper and money I should not be spending...I pulled the trigger on the Mii and will return...

    DIE HARD! IN THEATRES

    Watched it today at the local AMC Prime. Even my 15 and 12 year olds like it.

    DIE HARD! IN THEATRES

    Apparently, Die Hard (is it really a Christmas movie?) is playing in AMC Theatres for the Christmas Season! Going to make an effort to watch it. This is pretty awesome.
